Sens. Lee and Durbin introduced legislation which would force the Feds to get a warrant before spying on Americans. (As you recall, "conservative" Sensenbrenner voted for the current law, proving that he was just another Deep Statist).
The bipartisan SAFE Act would:
- Require government agencies to obtain a FISA Title 1 order or a warrant before accessing the content of Americans’ communications collected under Section 702
- The bill would not require a warrant for searches of foreigners’ communications or searches to uncover connections between targeted foreigners and Americans.
- The requirement contains exceptions for “exigent” circumstances.
- Boost the role of the amici curiae who assist the FISA Court in evaluating the arguments presented by the Justice Department
- Close the “data broker loophole” that intelligence and law enforcement often use to purchase their way around the Fourth Amendment and privacy protections. Potential data that could be obtained skirting Fourth Amendment protections include location history.
- Fix the overly broad definition of the Electronic Communications Service Provider (ESCP), which subjects virtually any business, religious organization, nonprofit, etc. that uses email, voicemail, or other communications to forced government data collection under FISA. This definition was expanded during the last FISA reauthorization fight.
- Close the Section 215 loophole that allowed the federal government to continue using surveillance authority which expired in 2020
- .
About damn time.

Trump will most likely kill it. He’s a Deep Stater.
Hey Anon
We do not have to like everything that Trump does to vote for him
There are many good things that Trump does
To vote for a Democrat these days is absolutely fatal. They hate this country with all their might.
Nice strawman.
This is a very simple thing, Anon 7:37 am. If Trump uses his power to convince his own party to thwart this bill, or he vetoes it, that is further proof he is a Deep Stater. So why isn’t he coming out and supporting it? Why isn’t he demanding swift action on it?
First guess: he is otherwise occupied.
Maybe you didn't know that, so we put it up there.
Yes, occupied with carrying out Israel’s agenda. At the expense of the privacy of American citizens.
This bill is THE priority for We The People. Remember, you stated numerous times that the FBI and CIA cannot be trusted. AmericaFirst demands that Trump come out right now and quickly move the bill through Congress and onto his desk for signing. He can take a stand against his Deep State paymasters.
There are NO excuses.
Yet, you continue to shill for Trump because your pride gets in the way of acknowledging you’ve been duped.
